Manhattan Strip Clubs: Drunken Killer Cop And NYPD Cover-up?
Incidents like this are perpetrated too often by those who have sworn a “duty to protect and serve.” The 50 shot execution of Sean Bell was, apparently, precipitated by the alcohol-fueled hallucinations of an undercover officer. And, a couple of weeks after Officer Kelly killed Valnord, another NYPD officer mowed down a 67-year-old woman in the Bronx. In that case, Albanian immigrant Drane Nikac was run over by an inebriated Officer Kevin Spellman at W. 232nd St. and Kingsbridge Ave.
Reports say Spellman ran a light before slamming into Nikac. Spellman also refused to take a Breathalyzer; twice. Spellman was eventually charged with criminally negligent homicide, vehicular homicide and DWI. And, do you remember, Officer Joseph Gray who ran down and killed four people, including a pregnant woman in Brooklyn on Aug. 4, 2001?
In that incident, Officer Gray had been drinking, at several locations including a strip club, which was supposedly off-limits to cops. Reportedly, other cops were also drinking with him, and they thought nothing of letting him drive off drunk. Consequently, Gray killed pregnant 23-year-old Maria Herrera, 4-year-old Andy Herrera and Maria Herrera’s 16-year-old sister Dilcia Pena.
